I saw this video on Twitter, today (June 4, 2020) This is at one of the protests against George Floyd's death. This picture below is from one of the comments following this tweet. I think that there are black conservatives might come as a surprise to some people.
This is my transcript. If you see any mistakes, please let me know. If significant, I will correct them.
My transcript of the conversation
Black lady: When black people kill black people they (social justice protestors) dont come and do this crap (protest, riot, etc). You only do this when white people kill black people. They are the racists.
It is wrong for white cops to kill a black person, that is for sure. But if it matters, it should matter at all times.
White Lady: What are you fighting for? You are not here to fight injustice...
Black Lady: This is about violence, this is not about blacks
White Lady: It is about a uniform world
Black Lady: You think blacks are oppressed. I am black, I am not oppressed. I am free
White Lady: Good for you, you are an individual person This is a systemic issue.
Black Lady: Where? I am black lady, this is a country where you can can do what you want, you do it. Stop forcing on people that they are oppressed. I am not oppressed. I am black.
Stop forcing people into accepting that they are oppressed. You are forcing a rhetoric into their minds, which is not true. Violence is wrong, period. It is not about blacks. You see white people kill white people too, right? Have you ever seen anyone complain that white lives matter? No! Violence is wrong.
White Lady: (something indistinct)
Black Lady: Blacks kill blacks in black neighbourhoods every single day. I have never seen Black Lives Matter in those neighbourhoods. When a black person kills a black person, do you know what they say : "When the police come say Snitches get stitches." (waves her hands in exasperation) Snitches get stitches. But when a white person kills black people, Black Lives Matter.
Stop the hypocrisy.
If it matters, it should matter in black neighborhoods. Stop killing at home.
White Lady: So why dont you start? why dont you start?
Black Lady: I dont need to be told black lives matter. I know I matter. You guys are wasting everybody's time.
